Table Mountain Ice Plant has foliage that is deep green, almost succulent looking and extremely shiny. The blooms are 1 - 2 inches across and cover the foliage, opening in the morning and closing in the evening.  Drought tolerant Ice Plants make a great under planting for roses and taller shrubs. They also work well in a container as long as their situation is sunny and well-draining.

Plant Delosperma Cooperi seeds indoors 4 - 6 weeks before last frost is predicted. Use starter trays and sterile potting mix. Press the Ice Plant seeds into the soil but do not cover the seeds. Keep the ground cover seeds moist but not saturated until germination occurs. Transplant outdoors, 18 inches a part when temperatures are warmed. Find a sunny location with sandy, sharp-draining soil. In the hottest climates, Ice Plant would do well with some afternoon shade.

Most ice plants have a quick and aggressive growth and spread rate.

Q

Q

Do I need to deadhead my plants?

A

No, deadheading does not promote further blooming with ice plants.

Q

Can I grow in containers?

A

Yes, ice plants do well in containers as long as you provide a well-draining potting mix. A thin layer of gravel placed over potting mix will help to keep your leaves dry as well.
